A catalyst composition comprising a uniform dispersion of individual metallic palladium particles, substantially free of clusters of said particles, on and throughout an alumina aerogel support, said composition having a BET surface area in the range of about 20 to about 700 m.sup.2 /g, a pore volum ...

Chromium(III) oxide and hydroxide aerogels are produced by the reaction of chromium(VI) oxide with a solvent which is reducing to chromium(VI), such as methanol, heating the solution to hypercritical conditions, and venting the solvent hypercritically. The product aerogels exhibit surface areas abov ...

A process for the production of oximes which comprises contacting, in the vapor phase, a primary saturated aliphatic or alicyclic amine of 2 to 12 carbon atoms with an elemental oxygen gas in the presence of an effective amount of a catalyst comprising an alumina or oxygen-containing tungsten substa ...

This invention relates to an improved hydrogenation process wherein aromatic amines are hydrogenated to their ring hydrogenated counterparts. These aromatic amines are presented by the formulas: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 aliphatic, R1 and R2 are hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 aliphatic, A i ...

According to the present invention, a zinc-containing solid catalyst prepared by contacting zinc oxide with an organic dicarboxylic acid in the presence of or in the absence of an organic solvent under a mechanical pulverization treatment is provided. The catalyst is in a good pulverized state and e ...

A silicon diffusion coating is formed in the surface of a metal article by exposing the metal article to a reducing atmosphere followed by treatment in an atmosphere of 1 ppm to 100% by volume silane, balance hydrogen or hydrogen inert gas mixture. Hydrogen with a controlled dew point is utilized as ...

Nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide are removed from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine which operates on a methane-containing fuel by reacting the carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and oxygen in the exhaust gas with methane in the presence of a catalyst comprising a crystalline zeolite ha ...

An amorphous silica/alumina gel catalyst obtained by coprecipitating orthosilicate tetraester and aluminate triester in about 2.5:1 mole ratio, via rapid addition of about 0.4 to 5 moles of water per molecular equivalent of total ester groups, and drying at not over about 275.degree. C. is an effect ...
